The Dead - Alive ?

I got this via e-mail does anyone know about this or have any other info?

Be blessed in Jesus' name

READ THIS REPORT from Deborah Khalil.
I don't want to wait until our next newsletter to get this story out to
you.

It begins as a tragedy but ends as an incredible miracle. Victor received
this by email a few days ago (5/20/04), and talked with family in Egypt to
confirm the details that were given there on the news.
A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife and buried her with their infant baby
and 8-year old daughter. The girls were buried alive! He reported to the
police that an uncle killed the kids.
15 days later, another family member died. When they went to bury him,
they found the 2 girls under the sand - alive! The girl was asked how she had survived. "A man wearing shiny white clothes, with bleeding wounds in his hands, came every day to feed us. He woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister." She was interviewed on Egyptian national TV, by a veiled Muslim woman news anchor.

She said on public TV, "This was none other but Jesus, because nobody else does things like this!"

Muslims believe Isa would do this, but the wounds mean He really was
crucified, and it's clear also that He is alive! The country is outraged
over the incident, and the man will be executed. But it's also clear that
the a child could not make up a story like this, and there is no way these
children could have survived without a true miracle. Muslim leaders are
going to have a hard time to figure out what to do with this, and the
popularity of the Passion movie doesn't help!

With Egypt at the center of the media and education in the Middle East, you
can be sure this story will spread. Christ is still turning the world
upside down!

Please let this story be shared here in SA, too.

The only problem I have with these Jesus-sighting stories & stigmata stories as well is: wasn't Jesus crucified through his wrists, not the middle of his palms? I read that if somebody was really crucified through their palms, the hands would rip and the person would fall off the cross. That this notion of Jesus being crucified through the hands was created by artists. Then why are people having visions of Jesus bleeding from his hands & why are stigmatics bleeding from their hands--have they been influenced by these artistic interpretations? Why are people having visions of this white Jesus Christ Superstar Christ when in all likelihood he was much darker and more Semetic looking?

I think popular perceptions & images of the Lord & the Virgin Mary are greatly influencing these visions & other Christian paranormal phenomena. I don't know if that is proof that these things are not real, however...it could be that God is using whatever mental image the person in question is most comfortable with.

UFO researcher Jacques Vallee believes that these sightings might be manipulations created by E.T.s. It is also possible that the divine quality in our own minds can project these images--and create our own miracles.

This story might also be pro-Christian propaganda & independent verification of its validity might be needed. Or this story might be partially true & then hijacked by pro-Christian propagandists.

Or it could simply be a real visitation by Christ.

My mind is open to a lot of possibilities.

maybe it has something to do with "whatever you hold true on earth i shall hold true in heaven" saying. Would it not be easier to recognize Christ through his wounds, or the perceived way he got these wounds, then through his normal self?

I can believe this explanation.

I agree with CC,

doing an advanced search on google only pro-Christian sites show up with links and story...

would be good if true but I highly doubt it.....

Thanks for the input guys and girls.

Belief is the key. The door will not be opened. I've heard many stories about Jesus and the wholes in his hand. If you believe nothing about Christ that is your choice. He will not step out of eternity and prove Himself to you. His proofs are the Bible and incidences such as this. It is a step of faith on our part. Why wouldn't it be Christ Jesus? because the hole are in the wrong place? come on. that reason enough for you not to think it is true. Than if satan wishes you not to believe anything it will not take hardly anything at all. Humm. where would we be if that was tha case for the whole world?

I used to be real open to possibilities and have come to realize that I must take a stand on my beliefs and not ride the fence, and have had peace of mind ever since.

There is a danger in being too open.

We see what we EXPECT to SEE.

If we have a vision of Christ with wounds in His Hands, then when He comes up, that's the way we see him.

If we have a vision of God has having a FACE, when we pray to God, we see His Face.

If we have a vision of the Universe as being incomprehensible, our minds will never search to the extremities of it.

If we have a vision of the Future as "dull and lifeless," we will never see the possibilities for Reform, Renewal and Healing.

If we have a vision of our own selves as ugly and unappealing, we will never place ourselves in line for roles, relationships and Communion.

What we EXPECT is what we GET.
